Hello guys!
So one of my friend found this plant in local lake in Latvia. This plant really reminds me Pogostemon stellatus "fine leaf" and its emersed form looks more like Pogostemon erectus/deccanensis but stem is really thick.
The thing is I haven't found any Pogo that would have origin close...
Small update on my tank.
Still having problem with Diatoms ... Plus GSA .
SAEs and Ottos doing their job to keep it clean but still noticeable that algae exists in my tank
Emersed Downois doing great!
Hello there!
I have tried to grow HC as carpet plant, didn't work for me. went brownish (due to small diatom outbreak i guess) some did melt and my barbs were uprooting it :D Still growing it emersed ... green and thick. so might give it another try someday.
As for now I'm wondering what to try...
Looks cool for emersed setup.
But I hate on everything that is smartphone controlled probably gonna be buggy as well if something will stop working you're screwed to tear it apart for replacement .
Hey!
Today I found this nice looking moss in a forest, never saw this one before.
It were growing in a really wet spot almost submerged
When i pulled it out, it drying out and die really fast
So I think it can grow in a tank
Heya!
So I went for small emersed setup.... and a bit confused with soil?
I googled a lot but didn't find any of suggested ones in local shops.
I have some Tropica soil, JBL Manado, JBL AquaBasis+
Also have Tropica Nutrition Capsules
I were thinking to use Tropica soil and crush one capsule of...
Learning about growing plants emersed.
Preparing a box for that, will give it a try with few Downois
Old leaves still looking bad, so will be removing them for sure. New grow still looks nice and green + counted about 35 new side shoots.
Hope growing them emersed will work for me :)
Well....
My plan is to chop off the tops in few weeks and replant them...
There is a lot of side shoots/runners on a stems
I have an idea to keep them when I remove all the leaves and replant them separately into container using a '' emersed" method to propagate it there
when the small ones are...
Hello there!
Today I bought a piece of spider wood... just to find out that it won't sink :D /fail
Also bought some Weeping moss to attach it.
So I begun waterlogging it...
Any possible way to speed it up?
Hope moss won't die ... don't want to put it in my tank without attaching it )
Any other LEDs you can suggest ? I found Finnex planted+ 24/7 ... I like the design of it slim and nice. Is it any good?
But... dislike day cycle and all the bonuses it have like moon light etc, don't want to overpay for that
Im looking for something I can buy in a range of 100eur or cheaper...
Well ... just as I were thinking
Bought 2 small SAE's and after an hour they begun to clean my Downoi ...
goona keep posting ... as progress goes, hope not to annoy you guys :D
Thank you, didn't knew that. as I said Im still new. can I still get a big problems if I use a ''cycled'' water?
And I guess I can confirm now that this is diatoms
I used flashlight with light off and now I can clearly see that my LavaStones are covered too around Downoi
Good news I found 2...
Hi there!

And can 60cm version fit 61cm tank?
Thanks!
For me it doest look like they are melting ... they turning bit brownish like dust covered.
Well at least I hope they wont melt ))
Leaves don't die off just the ones what I break during replanting
Produce a lot of side shoots, like I said from 5 to 38 in a month
Hope this just algae/diatoms...
